The world's natural and cultural diversity can be enjoyed in all its glory at the Horniman Museum in Forest Hill.
The museum opened in 1901 after Victorian tea trader Frederick John Horniman began collecting items from around the world in the 1860's. Horniman's mission was to bring the world to Forest Hill.
The Horniman has three main collections. These are world cultures comprising 80,000 objects, natural history with 250,000 specimens and Music with more than 7,000 instruments plus 1,000 archive documents.
Among the exhibitions on display at the museum are African Worlds, Hands On Base and Centenary Gallery.
